SYNOPSIS

        # Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
        my $switch = new SNMP::Info(
                               AutoSpecify => 1,
                               Debug       => 1,
                               # These arguments are passed directly to SNMP::Session
                               DestHost    => 'myswitch',
                               Community   => 'public',
                               Version     => 2
                               )
           or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";

        my $class      = $switch->class();
        print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class\n";

DESCRIPTION

       Base subclass for Cisco Layer 2/3 Switches.

       These devices have switch specific characteristics beyond those in traditional routers
       covered by SNMP::Info::Layer3::Cisco. For example, port security interface information
       from SNMP::Info::CiscoPortSecurity.

       For speed or debugging purposes you can call the subclass directly, but not after
       determining a more specific class using the method above.

        my $swich = new SNMP::Info::Layer3::CiscoSwitch(...);
